He is a highly confused person with a popular radio (internet?) program known for spreading hateful ideas, who also evidently has a penchant for spousal abuse and sexually harassing employees.

Courts and police don’t have much tolerance for that.
In many jurisdictions in the US it is illegal to sell imitation controlled substances.
Is that what it was, Pixelvision? I was pretty young. I assume there would be a way to interpret the data digitally as well without having to use the original device.
Looking at this, it's more interesting than I thought! Wish I had any idea where our original device was, also.
it's also notable that Microsoft has no realistic mobile OS of their own, and a huge amount of what used to be done on a desktop OS is now on mobile. Operating an ecommerce site for instance, 65% of the traffic is from mobile phones, even browser vs apps.
Around 1988 we had this Fisher Price (I think...?) camera that saved to audio cassette. I wish I had any clue where those cassettes are or how to access the images saved on them.
If you mean Ru vs Ukraine, the for-profit cost gouging for groceries disguised as 'inflation' began prior to that.
Sure, it's absolutely a cultural thing. If you look back to what I said originally, I specified people in North America. I'm aware that it's different in other cultures and I agree. The fermented food thing is interesting too, like, cheese... okay, we'll squirt some stuff out of a large mammal's breasts, leave it sitting around in a cave to be digested by bacteria for a while, then consume it with great joy. And of course, some cultures like China don't consume milk or cheese at all (last I knew), while in nearby Mongolia, fermented yak's milk is popular. On some level that would be horrifying, such as I am horrified by 'stinky tofu' but I love bleu cheese. I also have similar feelings about oysters and clams, like, why would I eat this bizarre weird bug living on the bottom of a lake?
So really what I mean is it's interesting how people have such firm feelings and beliefs about what sort of food is appetizing or not based on culture. It's essentially all upbringing, societal pressure, familiarity and habit, and nothing at all about rationality.
The thing is most people here are completely revolted by the idea of eating insects and would not consider trying to eat one to find out. It's a lot more being viscerally repelled than any analysis of flavor.
I’ve wondered about this before, just from the perspective of North Americans. Bugs that live in the water? Delicious and fine to eat. Actually look at a shrimp, though. If it lived on the surface people would never consider eating that. I also noticed a lot of people don’t really realize that at some point shrimp have heads. What gets me is how people have strong feelings but don’t seem to have thought it through.
Are you familiar with the United States? It doesn’t sound like it. In many towns, whether small cities, affluent suburbs or large cities, police, DAs and courts seemingly have nothing better to do. In the high school I attended in suburban New England they absolutely would have prosecuted a teenager who tried selling imitation drugs. I knew people who were targeted by police for years and eventually went through all sorts of police and court processes for less than 2 grams of weed.
The only way they wouldn’t have is if the family had enough money to get great lawyers, or they were related to someone who worked for the local government or school.
